Ukrainian FP-5 missiles strike Volgograd chemical plant - Fire Point

On September 11, Ukrainian defense forces launched FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles at the Volgogradpromproekt enterprise in Russia's Volgograd region, according to Fire Point defense company. The missile strikes resulted in a fire breaking out at the facility, the company reported in a statement. Volgogradpromproekt specializes in the production of ferrocene-based combustion catalysts and advanced chemical manufacturing technologies.

The plant is subject to U.S. sanctions due to its involvement in supplying the Russian military-industrial sector.

During the night, loud explosions could be heard across Volgograd. The regional governor of Volgograd claimed that missile debris had fallen onto an industrial site, while local monitoring sources reported visible fires. Simultaneously, a drone attack targeted the Russian city of Saratov, striking an oil refinery and a distribution warehouse belonging to the online marketplace Ozon. These strikes led to extensive fires in the area.
